Written another way, there are 29,010,624,113,146,182,337,306,275,467,414,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 values that would have to be analyzed to "crack" WPA. That normally take 3,679,683,423,788,201,717,060,664 years if you could analyze 25million fields a second (a reasonable value based upon today's CPUs). That's considerably longer than the Universe has existed.
You could reduce the time required by using a hybrid of hueristics, probability filtering and the so-called "fast memory trade-off technique". Who knows? You might get it down to a couple of Billion years.
Somehow I doubt you're gonna do it. :-)
And, of course, then there's always 802.11i which doesn't use WEP/WPA at all.
